Fox News is needed to save democracy

As far as the White house attacks on Fox News goes, all I can say is thank God for Fox News. While other networks and media are swooning and drooling over Obama's White house, where else would you go for fair and balanced news?

If it weren't for Fox News and other independent News sources to making sure government is still in someway accountable to the public, the only news we would get out of the White House is their talking points. Take away independent news sources and would we now know of radical changes being made inside of government today, I think not. Who's going to keep government honest and accountable when Democrats control all branches of government.

Reasons for keeping Fox News is it conjures up debate, and debate is important and healthy for a strong democracy. With all the major legislation coming out of Washington, legislation that will affect all our lives and could be the most important legislation in their lifetime, I ask, why wouldn't you scrutinize what's coming out of Washington? When did this country begin to be a dictatorship?
